Tim David was named as the Player of the Match. Speaking at the post match presentation, “Absolutely not (when asked if he should be batting higher up in the batting order), just had a great time in the middle wanting to make the most of every opportunity with the bat.”
“Was really nice to spend time at home, I had picked up a niggle, didn’t think too much, didn’t think I would score a 100 for Australia. The pitch was good and the boundaries were short, I just backed myself to play my shots,” he added.
“You always use your experience of playing here and it came good for me. I’ve worked a lot on my power-hitting, but I’m looking to make the most of my range as a stroke-maker,” he concluded.
